The hedgerow from the slip road to the bridge is in desperate need of cutting.

The hedgerow has grown so much it is forcing cyclist into the road putting them in danger of being struck from behind. All other hedges in this area have been trimmed apart from this 50mtr stretch. Eventually there is going to be an accident as drivers swerve to miss cyclists taking evasive action to miss hitting the hedgerow and also are crossing the central line with cars in the opposite direction manoeuvring to negotiate the junction to turn right.

This has got worse!! The hedgerow that OCC is responsible for is now overgrown and dangerous from the point where Highways have actually completed their work. It runs from the Slip Road where people turning into Heathfield are now vulnerable to the bridge and beyond. It is also forcing cyclists further into the road making traffic overtaking more dangerous.
